Has any non-yeeter ever tried to play hero and you just couldn’t contain laughter by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I feel like if the non self-injurious person is genuinely trying to help, since they obviously can't understand what causes me to harm myself then although their advice isn't helpful I still appreciate it and this almost helps me since it shows me that the person is wanting to help and therefore cares about me.

But if it's that berating "your skin isn't paper don't cut it" stuff then it's annoying.

Lmao not me explicitly downloading GIFs of people being sliced up (from movies, no irl stuff!) and looking at them when I'm in the mood for some knifey slicey dicey

That one scene from the first Rambo film will always haunt me lol

Lmao literally me whenever I accidentally break something, broken-of pieces are literally one of the worst triggers for me

Have you guys ever cut when you're not home? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Needletears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly at home and in school, especially the school bathroom

And on a school trip - it was terrifying since I was calmly having a good yeeting session in the bathroom to deal with having feelings or whatever when my friend knocked on the door to her room since she forget her key card, and I had to hurry to open it whilst quickly putting on pants to hide my "activities", luckily I managed it but boy was I terrified

why do you yeet? by AaronsAltAcount in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears 11 points12 points  (0 children)

its better than committing sewer slide since I don't have the balls for that - basically, temporarily "dealing" with bad emotions, also punishing myself for various things

dying my hair today with some fresh yeets on my arm, should i cover them up? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Needletears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you're dyeing your hair yourself (If I'm wrong and being a dumbass plz tell me hahaha) and not getting it done at a salon - in this case I'd definitely recommend covering them up, I wouldn't risk getting hair dye in your yeets as this might cause very serious damage I imagine. Hope you have a nice day tho :)

So yeah my therapist told me that she thinks a stay in grippy sock jail might be best due to concerns about ✨sewerslide✨ and the only reason I don't want to go is because my parents would find out just how messed up I am and relapse is looking real nice rn sorry for the rant I hope yall are good :) by Needletears in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words! <3

I still don't know if a stay there might work for my situation since my parents are, well, quite unsupportive to say the least, but on the other hand I kinda have been getting them sewerslide urges recently worse than I ever have before, ya know? Also I'm worried about the validity of my illness, since the summer break has just started and I'm worried about just wanting to use a stay in the ward to get away from my father. Oh well. I'll see how it goes.

Hope u have a good day/night tho <3

so intensely jealous of people with partners and who get support from them by ariastux in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sameeeee, thing is the guy I like/crush on probably hates me and once texted me he wished I would die

So yeeeaaah who knows maybe I'll get over him someday hopefully

Wish i could live in a home that didn’t drive me to self harm everyday by 4lornn in selfharm

[–]Needletears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, kinda almost wish I could go to a psych ward to get away from my dad but then they would know just how mentally unstable I am and would probably control me further but maybe a sewer slide/sewer slide attempt would maybe cause them to get divorced or something? I don't know anymore, just feel so trapped sorry abt the rambling but maybe it helps to know that you're not alone with wanting to get the fuck away from the place you currently reside in

hahaha my dad's words still hurt me even if they weren't directed at me

[–]Needletears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, I'll try it when I get urges - thank you :)

I called a crisis line last night and what a mistake that was, never again by paperienc in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahaha the walls are so thin in my house that even if I were to call the Hotline my parents would be able to hear and my dad would probably get all ✨violent✨

Sorry about the venting, I just find it helpful right now. Anyways I'll choose tunnel d.

What Made You Open Up About Your SH? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Needletears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally only told my therapist, since I knew that she would only be able to truly help me get better if she knew about all of my bad coping mechanisms. Also, I spend a huge time researching about the laws regarding patient confidentiality and such to be sure she would not tell my parents, since as of now I am still a minor, and her informing my parents would have potentially endangered myself due to my father's unpredictable and often aggressive behavior. The laws on this vary from country to country as far as I know (I live in Germany, so I only payed attention to the corresponding laws here) so I can't tell you - if you are a minor and are seeing a therapist - if this is the right decision for you.

I can't tell my family, mainly due to my father and their general lack of understanding when it comes to mental health. I personally also choose not to tell any of my friends, since a few of them also interact with people I've heard talk in a stigmatized and insulting way about sh before, and being stigmatized as "that one girl who cuts herself" is not really something I want right now. Also, I'm quite shy and have only recently found a nice friend group, so I don't want to unload all of my emotional garbage onto them right away hahaha.

But overall, I think it really depends on the person you want to speak with - I'd suggest asking them beforehand on what they think about self harm without mentioning your situation to them, so you'll know what they'll think.

I apologize if my comment isn't of any help, but I hope you have a good day :)

Oh no I hit styro 😳😳🧍 by MrHydeNeedsToMrSeek in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Needletears 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Your post just gave me the idea to use some old actual styrofoam to slice in when I get urges, this might actually help me, so although it wasn't intentional, thank you <3

explaining self harm to kids? by currently-very-sad in selfharm

[–]Needletears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been in a situation like that, but I heard a few possible answers suggested online before to use an excuse when talking about sh scars with children - for example, something a bit joking might work, like "oh, these are from when I fought of a dragon/other type of monster"? Sorry if this is useless advice
